The Frankfurt Institute continues to command the interest of a wide range of scholars working in history, philosophy, sociology, and political science. Yet, the prevailing narrative about the Institute overlooks a crucial component of its history: the economic theories developed by its lesser-known members. This book presents the first comprehensive study of these overlooked contributions, providing a transformative account that repositions the Institute as a site of original and influential economic thought. Most research on the Frankfurt Institute remains narrowly focused on a select few members whose work developed methods of critiquing capitalism that were more philosophically oriented than empirically grounded in economic reality.Drawing on new archival research, this book brings to the forefront the sidelined and long-neglected economic ideas of Franz L. Neumann, Otto Kirchheimer, Friedrich Pollock, Carl Gruenberg, Henryk Grossmann, Arkadij Gurland, Gerhard Meyer, Kurt Mandelbaum, and Karl A. Wittfogel. Viewing the work of the Institute through these figures highlights the fact that material, historical and empirical approaches to economic theory were central to its work. Being primarily a work of intellectual history, the book contextualises the Institute's economic theories within the historical settings of the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany.The book emphasises the role of these underappreciated economists in shaping economic discourse around the structural characteristics of capitalist economies during the twentieth century and offers a renewed perspective on the intricate interplay between economics, politics, history, and epistemology, which lay at the heart of the Institute's endeavours. This book will be of interest to researchers on twentieth-century economic history, intellectual history, political philosophy, history of economic thought, epistemology and Critical Theory.

Covering Maffeo Pantaleoni's key areas of contribution to economics, this book provides a comprehensive study of one of the foremost economic thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th century. Called the 'prince' of Italian economists by Piero Sraffa, among others, Maffeo Pantaleoni (1857-1924) was an original and innovative thinker but also bizarre and extravagant. As a result he did not produce an inherently continuous and systematic work but his contributions oscillate between a shifting idealism and heterogeneous operational criteria. Contrasting with the specialisation which pervades the economic sciences today, rereading Pantaleoni one hundred years after his death it is clear that he excelled in 'pure' as much as in 'applied' economics, in public economics as in statistical or historical-economic studies. Overall, his expertise spanned fields of economics that are now considered disaggregated and distant from each other. Thus, the Pantaleonian spirit, which was innovative and completist and could not be confined within any enclosure, was lost a century ago. This volume brings together a group of specialists capable of identifying the many points of contact between Pantaleoni's multiform thought and the disciplinary plurality of his economics - thus providing 'A Complete Economic Science' of which Pantaleoni would be proud.The book will be of interest to economists, readers in history of economic thought, intellectual history, Italian history more broadly, and scholars with diverse profiles of interest.

On his deathbed, Adam Smith ordered the burning of two unfinished works on epistemology and politics, fearing that his image as a philosopher would be tarnished and his ideas misinterpreted. This book argues that the inability to complete these two works is symptomatic of tensions for which Smith found no resolution.The loss of Smith's final manuscripts led to a century and a half of deliberate neglect from philosophers and misinterpretation from economists. The book reconstructs the lost works from fragments, lecture notes, correspondence, and chapters from published works. It also examines the reasons for changes in various editions of the Theory of Moral Sentiments, and explores the hybrid argumentative strategy employed in the Wealth of Nations. The output serves as a map of a coherent system addressing the same questions as Kant and venturing onto the path later taken by the Pragmatists. This roadmap will guide twenty-first-century readers through Smith's work.The book is essential reading for Adam Smith specialists, historians of economic thought and philosophers of science.

This book examines Adam Smith's perspectives on the India question during a pivotal juncture when the East India Company evolved from a commercial enterprise into a de facto imperial authority in India. Smith astutely recognised the significance of this transition and anticipated its potential to unleash societal change. Yet despite the importance of his observations in The Wealth of Nations, Smith's treatment of the East India Company's operations and governance in India has received limited scholarly attention. This study addresses that oversight by arguing that Smith's reflections on India constitute an essential dimension of his political economy.Situating Smith within broader eighteenth-century debates on trade, colonial policy, and the moral legitimacy of empire, this study reinterprets his position on the East India Company's monopoly, the integration of Indo-European commerce, and the consequences of territorial acquisition in India. Challenging prevailing historiographical interpretations, it offers a new reading of Smith's views on the transfer of Indian territories to the British Crown. Although Smith neither visited India nor engaged directly in colonial administration or trade, his sustained interest in Indian affairs profoundly shaped his thinking on governance, commerce, and imperial reform. The book highlights Smith's recognition of India's wealth, his awareness of the strategic importance of the East Indies trade, and his call for institutional reforms to reconcile the East India Company's interests with Britain's evolving imperial responsibilities. In doing so, it dispels the assumption that Smith's theories were detached from the economic and political realities of empire and instead positions him as a key figure in the intellectual history of imperial thought. Bridging the fields of economic thought, imperial history, and Indian historiography, this book offers a fresh perspective on Smith's enduring relevance.At a time when questions about global trade, corporate power, and the legacies of empire remain deeply contested, Adam Smith and the East India Company revisits the early economic, political, and diplomatic entanglements between Britain and India, revealing how historical ties continue to shape the present. These insights are especially timely today, as the United Kingdom and India have recently concluded a new free trade agreement aimed at enhancing mutual market access-including in Indian textiles and gems, commodities once central to eighteenth-century trade flows and formative in shaping empire and global commerce. History reminds us that such exchanges are seldom without precedent. Economic exchange in the age of Smith laid the foundations for enduring commercial relationships and illustrates how contemporary agreements often reflect historical patterns forged in the crucible of early globalization.This study will appeal to scholars and advanced research students in the history of economic thought, Indian economic history, business history, imperial studies, and eighteenth-century intellectual history.
